Thirty seconds…and Yet is a research-based collection which aims to translate, through a design process, the conditions of clothing in museum conservation rooms. This study is born as a manifesto against fast fashion and the oblivion of the true value of garments and textiles, particularly in growing forms of media.

This invisible space is partially left in the dark, drown in the abyss of the giant clothing industry. It keeps the appearance of a clinic against the tide of digitalised culture by holding values of care and maintaining the complete absence of human body.

This study put the accent on some pieces considered obsolete from today’s fashion memory as well as carefully selected rare materials. Performers are wearing the bespoke garments as if exhibited, through a certain flatness and a singular displaying. The valued techniques also involves in-depth textile analysis through a combination of craft knowledge and technologies, which is implemented in the collection through a conditional UV lighting pattern.

Thirty seconds…and Yet introduces the question of time by focusing on a ‘laboratory world’, frozen in its spatio-temporality and unconsciously defying the whole behavioural turn shaped by today’s pace of making.
